Are yahoo lottery promotions true?? Pls help?

Friend, any document can be generated in todays modern world. What you need to understand is that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE. No lottery can ever give anyone funds when they have No way of generating revenue -Basically if you did not pay to play you do not win anything. Any Business/ Establishment has cost of operations and they have to get it from somewhere. Any email you get offering something for nothing is false unless you have been made aware of it otherwise personally through any other means other than the email itself. The cost of having a 'Free' yahoo account is that your name address age etc is in their data base and they based on agreement can use it only amongst their related correspondences as described in the disclaimer. Also consider al the advertising that most yahoo users get on their page as they access their mail etc... these is what provides a good portion of the revenue for Yahoo to keep giving you your free yahoo email account (if you have one). Note: Due to a more stringent monitoring of the banking world after the 9-11 attack in the US Terorists groups from all around the world is having more dificulty in receiving/ transferring funds to keep them operational. One way that they can try and circumvent this problem is by having your account information as well as enough of your own personal information so they can use iehter your account and or your identitiy for a quick relocations of funds after which they 'disappear' and you're the one holding the 'red herring' when the Anti-Terrorist teams gets to the end of the trail. Be Very Careful and Use your brains Always. -Particularly in the Internet.

Scam!!!!! That message is both a fake and an outright fraud. Don't contact the phishers and give them any of your personal information at all. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you'll never win because it's "bogus." Another thing, the phishers telling you to "keep this lottery information confidential" would indicate to you not to say anything about this to anybody until they have finished scamming you.

This is really a scam!!! and I am sure your dad has uploaded/registered his e-mail Id with any bank and/or he uses this id to transact with any bank account. Like, I think he gets his account statements in this id and the phishers get these ids from the incoming and outgoing servers. Be careful and if he has really registered that id with the bank, tell him to create a new id and replace it with the records of the bank. Pray to God, your dad escapes from this rubbish!!!!
